Summer Sugar Babies! - Early July Due Dates

[Mrs W 11]

Ooh so to answer your question we are having a weekend away this weekend and my in laws are baby sitting tonight so husband and I have a night out for a meal and drinks woo hoo.

What are you guys up to this weekend? Xxx

Im so glad to hear everyone is doing well. And yes Kim you were great support. How are things with your mom? I'd really like to find the time to catch up on previous postson this thread that I haven't seen. I cant beleive im saying this, but im scared to ntnp. I dont think im ready. Dh wanted to try last night and I backed out. We need a bit more time financially and with my work I think. I think we need to wait until April at the earliest. Im trying to have it so when I would go back to work after the next baby, reid would be starting school full time. I cant imagine paying for 2 kids in daycare at the same time. My parents are retired snd they watch Reid right now. Its an enormous help, but I dont want my mom to get too tired so daycare is often on my mind. Who looks after your little ones?

 

[Mrs W 11]

I work 3 days a week and Freya goes to nursery those days. She will get 3 free sessions when she's 3 and ill have a year off before baby no 2 goes to nursery so we'd be ok - just. It's so expensive though, her nursery is £54 a day!

April isn't too long away, it's feb already so will soon fly round. Enjoying life with Reid now and try in a few months sounds lovely.

Thanks Kate My mom is great, cancer free still so that's awesome.

Cameron is in daycare full time... it's very expensive here too.. $530 every 2 weeks. My older son is in full time school and an after school program.

I'm really hoping to get pg and have a 2014 baby.. you'll laugh at me, but it's partially because of daycare costs! If we have a baby born in nov/dec 2014, then they will start school when he/she is 3 almost 4 as opposed to a baby born in January who starts school here at over 4.5 months.. it's potentially the difference of $8 - $10,000 !!!! My oldest is a February baby and it was a lot of money for daycare.

Now all of this to say, I'll take a baby whatever month!! hahaha and I think because I'm trying to plan it, it won't happen... i think I'll have a baby due jan 5 or something hahahaha which would be fine

We had a pretty low key weekend, we had a big snow storm last night so didn't want to venture too far!! and next weekend is my oldest's bday so it's busy!!

Becky is right, April is around the corner! February will fly by as will March, if you're not ready then you should totally wait i would say

Well must get to cleaning this house!!

Take care

Kim

Becky lucky you a night out!! I have not been away from Cameron, except for when I was in the hospital... we have definately not been out together!!! not even a babysitter for a few hours... sigh... lol my OH is sooooo neurotic hahah good news for us that both kids are in bed at 7

 

[kgriffin]

I honestly missed you guys. You're wonderful support. Kim in thrilled to hear about your mom!

Waiting is tough but financially its the right thing for us. Its a moment to moment thing for me. Im sure you guys can relate. Part of me says try now because it will take a while anyways and we will make it work financially and the next moment I think im just not quite there yet, I need a few months. Its hard to be practical sometimes. Sometimes I think that since my body has been through a successful pregnancy that I may get pregnant easier? What are your guys thoughts on this? Again, im so happy this thread is still going!

 

[klsltsp]

Kate I would tend to agree with you that once you've had a full term pregnancy your body just knows what to do that being said I've known people who have needed IVF on the second pregnancy and not the first!! so I don't think that there is any way of really knowing, so waiting until you're ready is probably the best! I don't know what your cycles are like, but would that be wait 2 more cycles? I have a 21 day cycle so a couple of months is closer to 3 cycles

I just got called for a cancellation apt for that special ultrasound that I am waiting until the 26th of Feb for!! so I am having it done tomorrow.. as long as I don't get AF before then!! I'm due this week... I'm nervous.. excited.. scared... this ultrasound could end up with the doctor saying that I can't have any more babies.... but I'm being positive, I was sooo lucky to not have my uterus rupture that I figure I am destined to have 1 more baby

I missed you guys too.. I have only connected with a few other ladies on here... our group was sooo good

 

[kgriffin]

That's great news about your US. Keep thinking positive and I will do the same for you! I have 28 day cycles, down from my 32 day cycles I use to have. So I would say im very regular lately, however, my issue before was that I was not ovulating, even though I had regular cycles. I had to go on Clomid. That being said, I have an appt with a new OB (that I have worked for before) on March 10th. So I was to get some bloods done and what not to make sure I am ovulating. no sense in "trying" on our own if its impossible!

I suppose I'll only have 2 more cycles before we can actually try, so that's very exciting, and very soon as well. Reid will be a great big sister, she just loves babies!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Kim, that's great news your scan got brought forward! Ill be thinking of you, I hope all goes well. I'm keeping fingers and toes that they ok you to start ttc and you can try straight after your gall bladder op!! Let us know how it went.

Gosh the difference in childcare if you have a 2014 vs a 2015 baby is crazy! If you are due 5th January that's ok as you can have your c section at 39 weeks again which makes a 2014 baby haha!

Yes I agree about this thread too. Been a member here since 2011 and its the best thread I've been part of. I have met some other lovely ladies here and enjoy some other threads at the moment, but so many others are just people putting updates on themselves up and if you don't post daily you tend to get ignored, so I love the smaller groups like this.

It would be lovely to hear from some of the others, like Nic, Jill and Joeybrooks.

Kate, I know what you mean that once your body has done it once hopefully next time it will know what to do. I got pregnant first cycle ttc number 2 and although the pregnancy obviously didn't last, I'm hoping my body now remembers what to do again!

2 cycles of enjoying all the things you won't be able to have when pregnant and by April you will be ready to give all that up and grow baby number 2 for 9 months! That's good you've got your appointment scheduled in march so you will know in advance if you are ovulating and whether you need clomid again or not.

My ticker says 6dpo but I must admit I'm getting some symptoms that make me feel pregnant already. I guess I could have ovulated earlier or I could be going mad!! I've been having heartburn and quite achey boobs. I think I will test on Friday. I want to be pregnant again so badly but at the same time I don't think I'm imagining it. Fingers and toes crossed and we will see!!

 

[klsltsp]

ooooh becky... I hope you are preggo!!! that would be sooo exciting! I've already looked at if I had a regular cycle (average 23 days for me) that I only have 2 cycles to have a 2014 baby, if I wait until my next cycle.. I'm on bcp right now, but I'm debating not starting another pack just to give my body a month to get back to normal... hmmm... maybe after tomorrow's ultrasound I'll have a better idea.

Kate good plan to check if you are ovulating or not, since who wants to try if you're not ovulating!!

I don't feel my AF starting yet so I'm really hoping to have my ultrasound tomorrow... they insert saline solution into my uterus... interesting to say the least hahaha I haven't told my OH that they moved my apt we've also decided that when i do end up preggo, I'm going to try and hide it from him until I've had an ultrasound where we see the heartbeat!!! sigh not sure I'll be able to since I get quite sick quite early but hey it's worth a try! He's such a worrier, that it's worth it to me.

 

[kgriffin]

Such exciting news. Becky please keep us posted! And Kim, you will be on our minds, sending good vibes to both of you!

It's soooo nice that we are all trying for our second at the same time. I think we can be great support for one another. Becky, I think the next time you are pregnant, your body is going to kick it into high gear and do the very best it can for you!! MCs are terrible, but if it teaches us anything, I think, it's that we really want another child in our lives and we will go to the ends of the earth to get them.

 

[klsltsp]

Becky I think you should test!!! if you're having symptoms.... no way I could wait until Friday!! hahaha

AFM well my body SUCKS!! my AF started 2 hrs before my u/s so I had to cancel, they re-booked me for next Tuesday, the 11th... so at least I'll know then. They were also able to re-book me with my ob right after so that's good too.

What's another week right!!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Kim, I came off my bcp back in June ready to ttc in sept/oct. I was breast feeding until end of sept though and my af came back after I stopped. I never know if you need time for it to come out of your system or not, I guess we are all different.

Aww sorry you had to cancel your us but its good af coming earlier as the sooner she's gone the closer you might be to that bfp!

Thanks Kate. I know there are so many ladies on here who've gone on to have second mcs and its sad to know when I'm lucky enough to get pregnant again I won't enjoy it quite the same as the first time as ill be so worried. I hope & pray my next one is a sticky bean!

I'm feeling down today. I was so positive yesterday and enjoying the tww but today I felt like af is on the way and feeling sad. I'm probably still up & down after the mc and feel a bit stupid getting my hopes up the I'd be pregnant straight away.

How are you guys? Xx

 

[kgriffin]

When I had my Mc, it took me 87 months to get pregnant and every month my af came I would get really sad. This is one reason why my dh wants to start trying asap because he says ill be sad again and that it won't happen overnight.I hope thith time is easier. Its hard not to feel down about it, I get that, but I feel positive for you. You will be pregnant again before you know it! Your body isn't failing you, its just testing your endurance to get you ready for another hard 9 months. Just try to stay positive. I feel much.more positive this time around. I think i dont mind waitin bbecause I think we will be done having children once we have 2. What are your ladies.long term family plans? Anyone want 3 or even 4?

 

[klsltsp]

Kate did you mean 87 months? holly smokes!!!!!

Becky I hope that you are preggo... and if you're not very soon I'm sure big hugs and I hope tomorrow you're feeling better.

AFM well I have been on bcp both times before my ds's and got pregnant the first time the 3rd month off and the 2nd time on the 2nd month. I've been on for 3 months now, I'm going to stop and see how long my cycle is, since I haven't had a cycle on my own since i started the bcp before my hcg was at zero.

And we're trying for 1 more which will make 3 for us we say we're trying once more for a girl... and we joke that we'll end up with twin boys hahaha my OH is from a family of 5 boys and they haven't had a girl in 75 yrs or so... I figure they are due but we know it's a slim chance lol And we joke about twins since my OH is an identical twin and he has identical twin brothers, cousins, uncles hahaha New research is saying that male sperm impact identical twins, so we joke that if we have fraternal twins it's my fault because I'm old and if it's identical twins it's his fault LOL Although to be serious I'm concerned that my uterus wouldn't be able to handle twins so hoping for just 1 baby!!!

Well I've blabbed enough Becky hope you're feeling better and Kate have a good evening

Kim

 

[kgriffin]

Kim, omg not 87 months! Thats what i get for using a smart phone lol. 8. Months is what I meant! I didn't remember that you had 2nd sons, sorry about that. A third will be great for you, I cant imagine twins! Wow what a family history!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Thanks ladies. Haha Kate 87 months, I'm glad it wasn't that long! I know what you mean and it's funny looking back thinking how slow the first tri went with Freya and now she's nearly 19 months old! Crazy how quick that's gone.

I wouldn't rule out having 3. It will either be 2 or 3 though, no more than that. Twins, so scary but also exciting!! Sounds like your odd ate higher Kim! I'm sure they would monitor you super closely if that happened to ensure you were ok.

 

[klsltsp]

haha Kate I figured you meant either 8 or 7 hahah 87 months is over 7 years!!!! hahaha

Becky how are you feeling today? better I hope!!! are you feeling any symptoms?

We are at higher risk of twins also because of my age... I'm 38 next week and then my OH's family history. I think they would have to watch me VERY closely..

So I have a question... I will probably ovulate 10/11 next week.. If I get the okay from my doc on the 11th...hmm... I'd like to try but then I have my surgery on the 14th, I could be 3 or 4 dpo... nothing would be implanted just yet so I think everything would be okay.. i know I should just wait but I don't want to hahahaha

 

[Mrs W 11]

A sensible person would probably tell you to wait Kim, just so if you do end up pregnant you don't worry about it all. But I would definitely just ttc and leave it up to fate! I'm excited to see you get your bfp after all you've been through!

I'm feeling ok today, not as down as yesterday. Trying not to get my hopes up too much. I still have heartburn but that's about it now I think. Only 2 days until I think I'll test unless af shows up. I don't think she's due until Monday or Tuesday though.

I'd love twins, goodness knows how I'd cope but it would be so amazing!

 

[kgriffin]

I have surgery on march 6th so thats another reason im waiting... but im with you kim. I'd love to just ttc but I'd be paranoid I think.

Omg your testing so soon! I hope your af stays far away. Glad your not feeling down today.

Afm. Im so tired. I just shoveled my driveway. There is so.much snow here! Remind me of where you all are from. Anyone else dealing with crazy loads of snow?
